"In this day and age we seem to have lost the intimate touches that once fueled our relationships. Personalized note cards are, in fact, … very personal."
The recipient of these cards will be thrilled by the creativity, thoughtfulness, and personal touches. As a gift, the back of the card will read: “Custom Designed Especially for (the recipient's name). As a gift for yourself, the back of the card will read: "Custom Designed Especially for (your name); includes envelopes.
Who we are … 
Inspiration is what feeds our creativity … somebody or something is usually responsible for this happening. Our inspiration came from Candy Sullivan Monroe who lost her battle to lung cancer in 2005. Candy was a creative soul, full of mischief, quirky sense of humor, and a deep faith that moved us all especially during her final days. Our grieving needed to be moved to a healthier place and that is how Candy Card Designs came into being.
So in memory of a beloved sister and a high-spirited aunt a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the fight against cancer. At this time donations have been made to Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, Philadelphia, PA, and Hospice of Cincinnati, Ohio.

This passion has now come to life. I hope this endeavor will bring hope and happiness to those also fighting the fight against cancer.”
